Band Manager?

For those who don’t know I used to do some managing of bands. Handle the bands website, booking of gigs, travel, money, press kits, merch, etc. I had built up a ton of contacts from labels in states surrounding Oklahoma, venues across the country, studios around my area, etc. It was kinda easy and I was good at it. However, due to several changes in my life at the time I stopped being involved in music. The bands I worked with were moving on/breaking up and I didn’t have the time or resources to do it anymore. I continued instead in websites, hosting, and web development as it was not only better money but steady income (not 100% steady due to freelancing, but not bad). I haven’t really missed being involved in music but have thought about it a few times. I did take an interest in a local band Southern Aggression though. I started doing their website and graphics and offered to do some manager duties for booking gigs, etc. They weren’t ready yet as they were still working on getting the band flowing and a demo out and have since added a new member. I was today however offered the opportunity to take over as band manager for the band. I’m excited to be offered this as I have thought about getting back involved with music since my freelance webdesign/developer business is going real good. I’m not 100% sure if I want to do it yet. I want to do it and know that I can do it but I’ve gotta figure a few things out with the band. I have a ton of ideas for the band and would like the chance to get some of these ideas started or at least discussed with the band. I’ll post more about it later.

We heard some good news on the house we applied for in Texas. Everything looks perfect as they checked credit, background, etc but had one more phone call to make on a reference and hoped to get us the keys on Monday. This is great news as we were a little worried about it. If everything goes as planned we will be moving to Texas by next weekend. We are going down there tomorrow and I will take pictures of the outside of the house and post. I really like it and am looking forward to it. We will see how things unfold over the first part of the week.
